As always, you have to assume the worst with Trump, so both. Such a fucking idiot.
You’d think they’d learn to spell things phonetically for him.
Hell, you’d get ten completely different answers, 4 of which would completely contradict each other.
It would be fascinating,at the very least.
In 3, 2, 1: It will be “discovered” by Trump that mail-in voting in all Republican-dominated states is completely safe, but that mail-in-voting in Democratic-dominated states is fully fraudulent and bad and unlawful.
So voters in the former will be encouraged to vote by mail, and any votes-by-mail in Democratic-majority states will be duly confiscated and destroyed by the USPS, which of course now has a Postmaster General and Board of Directors who are all Trump supporters.
Whatever Trump wants to accomplish with regard to voting, he can do by offering carrots and/or sticks to the governors.
Mail is a bit more under his direct control, with the USPS leadership now all his appointees. But the stuff that is NOT nominally under a President’s control, such as elections, can be dealt with by means of the many ways in which states need Federal dollars and other forms of help. Pressure can make things happen (or not happen).
Trump has no real need to issue Executive Orders, but they can serve to save face for those governors who knuckle under to his wishes (e.g. ‘I had no choice but to close 90% of polling places, and to let the USPS decide which ballots to deliver and which not to deliver, due to the Executive Orders about those things’).
I think we can pretty much guarantee there will be massive amounts of unlawful fraud in the mail-in voting in Democratic states.
Immortal porpoises.
You also need some sleeping lions and some mynah birds.
Can we get majah boids instead?
I have a question. I had to find a transcript because I couldn’t remember exactly when during the interview Trump was asked about Portland (it was 26:45 into the interview, turns out).
Here’s something he said:
Helpful bolding mine.
My question is: what building is he talking about?
I believe it’s this
Which (accding to wiki only cost $129 mill.
sometimes I feel like I have become a zomgie because of that guy
Aye; that’s the building I thought he was referring to also, but it clearly is not a $600M building.
Trump just shits things out of his mouth and Mr. Swan missed a great opportunity to nail him for telling an outrageous lie.
Trump’s most “Veep”-y portion of the Axios interview, with Veep’s closing theme music added.
(Sam Richardson, who played Richard Splet, noted on Twitter that this scene wouldn’t have made it past the table read. “Too unrealistic.”)
Republicans are whining “that Democratic negotiators are taking too hard a line in talks on a sweeping coronavirus relief bill”.
Go fuck yourselves, GOP. Go eat a bucket shit. Lick some razor blades, motherfuckers.
Then shut the fuck up and do what Speaker Pelosi tells you to do.
Assholes.
This is also a prime example of what stupid lies the man tells. I mean, I think his actual point–about the Antifa and the anarchists and how great our strong, tough law enforcement are–is fundamentally garbage. But even apart from that broader point–why lie about the motherfucking cost of the building? Is there anyone out there who would actually say “Whoa! That’s a 600 million building! We need to bust some heads to protect *that* puppy! Bring on the windowless black vans! I mean, if it was only a 129 million building, that would be one thing, but damn–$600 million!”
And FUCK YOU Discourse! If I put a motherfucking dollar sign in my post, it’s because I want a motherfucking dollar sign in my post. And if the motherfucking dollar sign shows up in the preview, THE MOTHERFUCKING DOLLAR SIGN HAD BETTER SHOW UP IN MY POST!
Exactly!
Thank you! I was admittedly too busy mentally gettin’ my Petey Wheatstraw on to articulate it all properly.
That would be a disaster. If they spelled words out phonetically for him, the Genius of the Twitterverse would tweet them out that way. You can’t win when dealing with a fucking moron. This is the guy who bragged about having had wonderful conversations over in England with the Prince of Whales, so he’s either a fucking moron or the architect of one of the most remarkable achievements in the history of marine biology.
I wonder what would happen if he had to deal with a certain other national park. Call it “Jellystone,” perhaps?
Aw, man. You just know that in a couple of centuries an alien space probe is going to show up and immediately nuke us from orbit, no questions asked.
“Greetings, gentle whale-people! We have come in response to your cries of distress, which we heard across the great ocean of space!”
